The Storm water management system may get a good test.

The system is required to handle at least 10"/24h in ponds, and can remove 7"/24h from those ponds through inlets.

Irma had 12-15" with some spillover into golf courses and localized flooding in low spots

Latest modeled precipitation accumulation. 12" to 24".

Ashville suffered flooding. The Villages has great protection from flooding with the water management system in place. Let's all hope this water management system works like a charm.

Also Asheville, NC is in a valley getting all the runoff from the surrounding mountains.

NO, better to be here , than stuck on the road in traffic.

Yesterday, Tuesday, I transplanted three bushes so I could put something more to my liking where they were. I dug the transplant holes first then dug out the first bush to be transplanted. Then I put the new bush in its place. Carried the transplant bush to one of the holes I had dug about 45 minutes earlier. There was about 1-2 inches of water in it. Shows how saturated the ground is with just the little bit of rain we've had in the previous days.

Now that they are emptying the retention ponds onto the golf courses and the expected rains, they may not be dry enough to golf on for many, many, many days. Can’t get tee times for Saturday right now because they are apparently closed. Will find out tomorrow if there are Sunday tee times.

We are getting at least 12” of rain.
I would put the over/under on the first set of golf courses opening at 10/24 - maybe even Halloween.

It depends on if your local pond had already been over-full or not, and the elevation of the houses.

[PugMom]

No. I remind myself the house is superior construction with hurricane windows, and we have the best drainage system known. We'd have nowhere to go anyway, and i can't imagine myself in a noisy, school gymnasium with the Pug and pet gerbils

Using hurricane Irma in 2017 as a guideline, I wouldn’t expect golf courses to be opening up for at least a couple of weeks and probably much longer for many of them.
